Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until the apples are coated evenly.
Transfer the apple mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well mixed.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry mixture and work the mixture with your fingers until it becomes crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
Sprinkle the mixture over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake the apple crisp for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the apple crisp hot or warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
